I ran into the same problem after adding a Sweex SATA PCI controller on Ubuntu 10.04.
In my case I added a file 09_linux_rootdelay as root to /etc/grub.d/ with the following contents.
Code:
#! /bin/sh -e
# grub-mkconfig helper script.

This is a copy of 10_linux, with minor changes to set the rootdelay:
Code:
linux ${rel_dirname}/${basename} rootdelay=90 root=${linux_root_device_thisversion} ro ${args}
Naming the file 09_linux_rootdelay allows the file to add entries before the entires created by 10_linux and so will be used as default. Also after kernel updates, these entries should still work and UUIDs are preserved.
Be sure to run sudo chmod +x on the file and run sudo update-grup afterwards.
